The Hydrator
A powerful moisturiser that delivers instant hydration whilst brightening, soothing, and protecting your skin.
why louise formulated the hydrator:
‘Clients lacking in time or the finances to have a separate day & night cream were definitely those I had in mind when I created this moisturiser. It's a hybrid meaning it can be used both morning & night & also has serum-like qualities in terms of the levels of Vitamin C it contains. I wanted you to be able to get an luminosity when using it, a radiance that you see when used alone or when sitting under makeup. I chose a beautifully light shea butter, sustainably sourced from the Kolo Nafaso shea butter program. It's an ethical sourcing initiative that provides traceable, high-quality shea butter while supporting women in West Africa through direct trade and financial independence. Topped off with a toning Neroli scent it brings the ‘Spa’ to you every time you use it.’

key ingredients & their benefits:
Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate
Why your skin loves it:
A highly stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that deeply penetrates the skin to brighten, even skin tone, and boost collagen production. Unlike traditional Vitamin C, it’s gentle yet powerful, giving you a radiant, youthful glow without irritation.
Tasmannia Lanceolata Leaf Extract
Why your skin loves it:
A super-soothing botanical known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps calm redness, protect against environmental stressors, and reduce irritation, making it perfect for sensitive or reactive skin.
Shea Butter
Why your skin loves it:
A deeply nourishing, moisture-rich emollient that hydrates, softens, and strengthens the skin barrier. Packed with vitamins A, E, and essential fatty acids, it restores suppleness and protects against dryness.
Our unique Hydrating Complex*
All of our products contain our unique Hydrating Complex which supports the lipid barrier.
Why your skin loves it:
Glycerine - Humectant and moisturiser. Holds onto water and prevents transepidermal water loss.
Sodium Hyaluronate - Is part of Hyaluronic acid BUT it has a much smaller molecular weight which means it can penetrate the Epidermis and assist with hydrating the layer of skin below. Its a humectant and acts like a moisture magnet.
A plant derived polysaccharide - A moisturising and skin soothing ingredient. It works by binding water to the epidermis and creating a moisture-binding film on the skin that gives a soft, smooth feeling. In addition to providing long lasting moisturisation, it also functions as an anti-irritant.
Directions
Massage a pea sized amount after double cleansing with The Cleanser. Always use sunscreen as part of your morning routine.
